Florida launch pads in this schedule

Providers on the upcoming list: SpaceX (1), United Launch Alliance (1).

Notable upcoming: Vulcan returns to flight

Vulcan VC6L | Amazon Leo (LV-01) (Nov 13, 2026, 11:54 AM CST) is ULA Vulcan’s first flight since a booster nozzle problem in February 2026 and the first of Amazon’s Leo launches on Vulcan. Background: Vulcan return to flight FAQ.

Cape Canaveral vs Kennedy Space Center pads

Most Florida launches leave from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station or NASA's Kennedy Space Center next door. SpaceX flies Falcon 9 from SLC-40 at the Cape and from LC-39A at Kennedy, which also hosts Falcon Heavy and crew flights. United Launch Alliance flies Atlas V and Vulcan from SLC-41, and Blue Origin flies New Glenn from LC-36. NASA's SLS uses LC-39B. The pad table above shows which pads the upcoming list uses.

Florida launches by month in 2026

FAQ

Is there a rocket launch in Florida this week?

No Florida launches have a date in the next 7 days. The next is Vulcan VC6L | Amazon Leo (LV-01) from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA, Nov 13, 2026, 11:54 AM CST.

When is the next launch from Cape Canaveral?

Vulcan VC6L | Amazon Leo (LV-01), Nov 13, 2026, 11:54 AM CST, from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA.

Which pads launch from Florida?

Kennedy Space Center (Launch Complex 39A and 39B) and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (SLC-40, SLC-41, LC-36, SLC-37 and LC-16). Upcoming launches in this list use: Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA, Launch Complex 16, Launch Complex 36A, Launch Complex 39A, Space Launch Complex 40, Space Launch Complex 41.

Who launches from Florida?

Upcoming dated Florida launches by provider: SpaceX (1), United Launch Alliance (1).

Where can I watch a Florida launch in person?

Playalinda Beach, Jetty Park, Space View Park in Titusville, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and the Cocoa Beach area all have views. Our Cape Canaveral where-to-watch guide lists spots, distances and closures.

Will I hear a sonic boom?

Usually only when a Falcon booster flies back to land at the Cape (Landing Zone). Droneship landings at sea rarely produce a boom ashore.

What time are Florida launches usually?

There is no usual time: each launch time is set by its target orbit, so Florida launches happen at all hours, day and night. Station and rendezvous flights have short or instantaneous windows; many Starlink flights have windows of a few hours. Check each launch page for its window.

Why are there so many launches from Florida?

The Space Coast has many active pads run by the Space Force and NASA, the Atlantic Ocean to the east for safe flight paths and booster recovery, and a low latitude that helps eastward launches. SpaceX flies Falcon 9 from the Cape often (60 Florida launches in T-ZERO's 2026 data so far).

How current is this schedule?

It is rebuilt automatically from Launch Library 2 every time the feed refreshes; last rebuilt Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 8:37 PM CST. Florida launches often slip a day or more, so check the launch page before you drive out.
